Drawing a house with just 10-key input.

[Ataim]

I'm a land surveyor. Years ago I worked at a company that had a script or lisp to draw a house. Basically you started a polyline and then drug the cursor the direction you wanted to go. Then you would put in the distance. Then you simply type the next distance and would draw that distance 90° to the right of the last line. Or if you put a - in front of the distance it would draw 90° to the left of the last line. Or you could add / or \ to draw 45° to the last line. You would continue until you are done. I would be willing to pay $$$$ if someone could write this for me.

I moved your thread to the AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL Forum.

Do you remember what the command was to run the LISP - you never know, someone might have a copy or a link to it

Many years ago "Civilcad" software had that function, draw a shape and click on boundaries you could do things like set a side and slide along that side with updating offset to other sides as one option. So understand what you want but no solution, sorry. Not sure if it ended up in current software "Magnet". Note in the image the offset line to the angled line., it will always be the closest corner and changes automatically depending on the shape.
